The Only Original and UnalteredBCS Computer Rankings...Showing Which Teams Have Accomplished
the Most to Date Oklahoma Finishes the Regular Season #1

Oklahoma, Utah, Texas, Florida, and Texas Tech are the
most accomplished teams to date

#1 Oklahoma has beaten 6 current top-25 teams and lost only to #3 Texas

If you were to remove the name on the jersey, it would be very hard to deny the accomplishments of #2 Utah on the field: a 12-0 season in an above-average conference, with wins over #11 TCU, #18 BYU, and the only team that beat USC, #30 Oregon St.

#3 Texas is 11-1 versus the nation's 6th-toughest schedule, having played #1 Oklahoma, #19 Missouri, #17 Oklahoma St., and #5 Texas Tech all in a row

Like Texas, #4 Florida has 1 win versus the current top-10 and 3 wins versus the current top-25, but the Longhorns' loss was at #5 Texas Tech, while the Gators' loss was at home to #29 Mississippi

(11-1) Texas Tech rounds out the top-5, with (12-1) Alabama at #6

The BCS is a major reason why college football has by far
the most meaningful regular season in all of sports — now on to the bowls!

The Jeff Anderson & Chris Hester
College Football Computer Rankings, as of Dec. 7

1. Unlike the polls, these rankings do not
reward teams for running up scores. Teams are rewarded
for beating quality opponents, which is the object of the game.
Margin of victory, which is not the object of the game, is not
considered.

2. Unlike the polls, these rankings do not prejudge teams.
These rankings first appear after the season's fifth week, and
each team's ranking reflects its actual accomplishments on the
field, not its perceived potential.

3. These rankings compute the most accurate strength of schedule
ratings. Each team's opponents and opponents' opponents
are judged not only by their won-lost records but also, uniquely,
by their conferences' strength (see #4).

4. These rankings provide the most accurate conference ratings.
Each conference is rated according to its non-conference won-lost
record and the difficulty of its non-conference schedule.
